Jahmyr Gibbs Draft Profile
Strengths
Jahmyr Gibbs is your stereotypical gadget player that brings the juice every time he’s on the field. His quick feet and speed allow him to widen the field for future play-callers as well as provide value in the return game. He can line up all over the field and provide value in the passing game thanks to his strong route running and soft hands — which will be a nightmare for opposing defenses. Gibbs’ big-play ability is attractive enough for NFL teams looking to add juice.
Weaknesses
His 5’9″, 199-pound frame is obviously a huge concern. It can affect his blocking ability as well as his ability to run through contact between the tackles — which could hurt his overall playing time in the NFL. Gibbs also lacks strong decision-making, tending to struggle with when to cut or take the correct lane — two areas that can easily be fixed with good coaching.
